Switching over to affinity for illustrator / photoshop/ indesign is pretty painless. Not sure what to do about after effects atm or substance painter as uuclip is not quite there. Blender has pipeline issues when working with 4 other 3D programs across teams that work together. No winning :D

Flat plywood is erm, mmmmm yes, more. Only issue when specifying it was stopping contractors from using the ones with massive logos and text printed on it :D

I work on all those experiences. There is a hell of a lot of work and really quick turn arounds in those sectors even outside Disney.

You get to do short movies, computers games and sports within it all as well.

Wonder if it stems from the age old aguments about if peeing in the shower is okay or not and one of the devs was so worked up over the argument they were just. "Its so wrong i'm gonna label it!"

I'm on there. Sometimes write reviews, generally just rating though. Been running a film get together once a week with friends for a few years now.

Think there have been a few actors specifying this with the whole Peter Cushing fiasco setting it off and hologram music tours not too long ago.

A few sites last September were circulating a parody article about a family in hospital after using a gptchat made mushroom identification book published through Amazon after a few were found on there.

Yep didn't get into game dev until I was 37. Although even then i thought I was applying to theme parks design.

I kinda starting giving up on game dev, but turned out they made AR/VR, arcade games, CGI short movies, interactive movies and ride media as well, so getting to do a whole range now.

Blender native, I may get the flip fluids add-on it looks useful.

Blenders a bit finicky compaired to what i've seen a collegue do with liquigen / embergen, he also wants to try flip fluids because of the pigment color mixing based on Mixbox
